[Pkg-fedora-ds-maintainers] Bug#877655: 389-ds: Installation and initial configuration of 389-ds fails and leaves apt in a bad state

[Jon Jahren]

Package: 389-ds
Version: 1.3.5.17-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

after installing 389-ds on a fresh Debian Stable install, it will not start
and leaves apt in an unfinished state. The first thing I noticed was wrong
was that the directory /var/log/dirserv/admin-serv is not created. 
After creating the directory, the manual command apache2 -k start -f /etc/dirserv/dirserv-admin/httpd.conf
will not give any error messages, yet it does not start. Trying to manually
configure 389-admin with dpkg --configure 389-admin does exactly the same as
when installing it through apt.

A web search claimed that disabling mpm_event and enable mpm_worker would fix
the issue, after testing this on my system it made no difference. 

Regards
Jon
